Guidenet,

I'll stick by my comments. Your comments go a little overboard. Cropping a lot of the original image is not good photography. Photographing wildlife I tend to crop a lot more than taking landscape images since it is hard to get close to wildlife enough to fill a large portion of the frame.

Larry, why is when one crops of any importance to when you press the shutter button and why is that? Why are some indoctrinated to believe that creativity ends right there? Why is this even a consideration in the least bit? Who came up with this and when?


This came from the people who insisted on darkroom printing the frame edges to 'prove' they shot it perfectly. If the edges weren't in the frame, it was discounted as "oh they cropped it"...

Stacey. I understand but so what? In my mind, leaving the edges is a horrible idea for composition. It also seems to me an arrogant sign of support for a really silly idea. I could care less when you did your crop, whether before the shot, during the shot or after the shot. What difference does it make such that someone would leave the ugly edges showing?
